I'm actually loving DMC1 even more now that the control scheme makes sense. Triangle for jump really messed with me >.<

One trick that I learned is that when you're just trying to farm for orbs, do whatever you need to in a mission, then Save and Quit to retry it. It kills your rating for that mission but eeeeeeeeh. One of the best places to farm early on is the mission right after you beat Phantom, where he starts coming after you in the hallway. Stay at the end of the hallway, use Alastor's air shots and stuff to make short work of him and then gain a hefty sum of Orbs. Then rinse and repeat :D
